What is Micellar Solutions and Microemulsions : Structure, Dynamics, and Statistical Thermodynamics about?

During the last decade there has been a renewed interest in research on supramolecular assemblies in solutions, such as micelles and microemulsions, not only because of their extensive applications in industries dealing with catalysts, detergency, biotechnology, and enhanced oil recovery, but also due to the development of new and more powerful experimental and theoretical tools for probing the microscopic behavior of these systems. Prominent among the array of the newly available experimental techniques are photon correlation spectroscopy, small-angle neutron and X-ray scattering, and neutron spin-echo and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies. On the theoretical side, the traditionally emphasized thermodynamic approach to the study of the phase behavior of self-assembled systems in solutions is gradually being replaced by statistical mechanical studies of semi-micro­ scopic and microscopic models of the assemblies. Since the statistical mechanical approach demands as its starting point the microscopic struc­ tural information of the self-assembled system, the experimental determina­ tion of the structures of micelles and microemulsions becomes of paramount interest.
